5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is Excellent!, June 12, 2007

I just got this DVD a few days ago, and I am in love with it. The DVD is NOT just for children; adults who are just beginning to learn to knit can benefit from it too. The children are adorable, and they make instructions clear (I was somewhat worried about this, but the children are GREAT) and much more entertaining and fun to watch than an adult could. The DVD also has a very lovely woman storyteller who tells stories that go along with the steps of knitting. These stories are memorable and help the beginner remember the order of each step. I highly recommend this DVD for both children and adults. You will have fun and will be knitting in no time at all. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Everyone!, September 11, 2007

This review is from: The Art of Knitting 4 Kids (Leisure Arts #4406) (DVD)

My 6 year old learned how to knit about 6 months ago. She had lost interest a little bit because it "took too long" to finish a scarf. Since watching the very entertaining dvd, she has renewed interest and is knitting faster than before.

It covers cast on (long tail), knit stitch, purl stitch, picking up a dropped stitch and bind off.

The dvd is fun for the whole family to watch and is interactive. It teaches how to knit a ball, step by step, having you knit along and the dvd automatically pauses until you are done with the section and you press play.

It also shows how yarn is made from shearing to spinning yarn.

I highly recomend this dvd to everyone, regardless of age or knitting experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great way to teach kids how to knit!, May 2, 2007

This DVD is really wonderful!
Little Ryan is an amazing knitter and an excellent teacher. I am a knitter and he actually showed me a way to cast on, I never tried before.
As I said, I knit, but am not the greatest teacher, so this DVD is a great way to teach the kids in my life how to knit.
The animated knitting fable is also great and once you learn, you can make the knitted ball project on the DVD.
Summer's coming, so it's a great time to give kids a fun activity to do.
You'll love this DVD!
